Yes! All Hamilton county public high schools partner with the Great Oaks to offer programs that we aren’t able to offer in our individual buildings. While you attend classes at the specific Oaks campus, Sycamore is considered your “home school”.

Any of the four campuses. Most Sycamore students attend Scarlet Oaks as it is the closest to SHS. There are some programs only offered at the specific locations so when that happens, students may chose to attend that campus. 

Sycamore students attend their Great Oaks campus for the full day. Half the day is dedicated to the lab with the other half of the day is for academics.

You’re still a Sycamore student and can participate in all of our extracurricular activities. We have students attending the Oaks in Marching Band, on sports teams, and in various clubs. 

Sycamore provides transportation to and from the different locations for those that need it. Students may also choose to drive themselves. There is no parking pass that needs to be purchased at the Oaks. 

Students who wish to enroll at Laurel Oaks (Wilmington), Diamond Oaks (Dent), or Live Oaks (Milford) should see a counselor for more information. Students attending Great Oaks may participate in all home school extra-curricular activities if scheduling and transportation can be arranged. Attendance at Great Oaks is free for high school students.

Students catch their normal bus to the HS in the morning. They will then switch to the bus that goes to Scarlet or Live Oaks. Our students attending Laurel will ride the Live Oaks bus and then there will be a shuttle from Live to Laurel. The way home is a little different because of timing. Students catch the Sycamore bus from their campus. That bus will take students to the junior high where they will catch another bus to ride home.
